Right, thought I'd better take the plunge and upload IE 7 so as to do some testing before it's forced upon an unsuspecting world. Running eventually but thats another story.

Looking at one of my newer sites, in fact not completed yet, I noticed that the font being used was not of my choice.

My css file has the font-family attribute and the fonts specified are all sans-serif in type. IE7 however is displaying the pages with a serif font. You can see this if you look at ends of an 's' for example.

There are other issues such as the menu for instance. In Firefox and Opera and previously in IE 6, you did not have to have your cursor over the actual menu item text. As long as it was in the block space occupied by the item, the link became live, so to speak.

In IE 7 you have to be over the actual text.

Although not proven yet, I have a suspicion that it has to do with the page being coded as xhtml strict and the charset specified as utf-8.

Anyone got any ideas - apart from the obvious?
